Question - if wealth taxes don’t work and raise only paltry amounts, how come whenever we start seriously discussing them rich people start pouring resources into trying to start race and class wars as a distraction?

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements

How to indict your political enemies: Step 1. Appoint an AG who went to law school in a hotel Step 2: Replace career prosecutors with an insurance lawyer who never prosecuted a federal case Step 3: Hire an FBI director with zero years in law enforcement Step 4: Let them cook What a meritocracy!

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

Democrats DO have good messengers who show real leadership. Let’s put those people in charge.

Just so it is clear why the election in Moldova matters to Putler They’re trying to encircle Ukraine, then use China to push Poland (which is the main access point for foreign aid to Ukraine) to withhold the aid.. and herewith, progress. Intimidation via drone incursions is also to minimize aid

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

Are we great yet?

Trump has already declared nine (!) national emergencies purporting to justify hundreds of questionable actions that would typically require congressional approval or lengthy regulatory review. www.thebulwark.com/p/reining-in...

Light the fuse, then cry about the explosion. Classic MAGA.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

The 400 richest people in the U.S. are now worth a record $6.6 trillion after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year.

If releasing the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency needs to end.

I am so proud at the folks in my little town who came out to stand up to Fascism! This is a tribute to the folks in California who did this, wearing black outfits, covering their faces. It was an honor to film this for my community. If you look carefully you'll see my mom waving.

It’s not the immigrants. It’s the billionaires ruining our country. Stop buying into the divisionary tactics of the oligarchy. It’s time to take back our country and power of the people #LaborDay

Trans people never stole the entire Social Security database and put every American at risk by uploading their personal information to an unsecure server. But Trump and Elon Musk sure did.

Charles Borges, the chief data officer at the Social Security Administration, resigned Friday — days after filing a whistleblower complaint alleging DOGE employees had uploaded a copy of the entire country's Social Security information to a "vulnerable cloud environment”

Republicans went from ‘Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall!’ to literally rolling out the RED carpet for the world’s most dangerous dictator in the space of a generation. FOX News more than anything else laid the groundwork for the stupidity that infects MAGA and their clown king.

Trump is such a such a useful idiot for the oligarchs that the NYT had bombshell reporting today that Space X has never paid federal income tax and it barely registered with American public.

"So the tariff is paid in this country by the importer, is that right?" -- Eugene Robinson guides Scott Bessent into acknowledging that tariffs are in fact paid in the United States, not by foreign governments

We're still seeing great promise of COVID nasal vaccines with various vectors, preventing infection and transmission, but the HHS cancellation of US support will very likely derail the progress that has been made www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Reminder: this country literally had a revolution because they didn’t want to pay tariffs on tea! Tariffs are in the Constitution—and Congress has the power, not a wannabe king with a spray tan. Just sayin.

Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals. What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research. Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out. zurl.co/YBGNy

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Please listen to Pete. He is not going to lead us astray. #USDemocracy

DOGE stole our personal financial data. Palantir is tracking Americans using private financial, health and travel data, social media posts and political donations. ICE is denying due process, abducting people, and putting them in concentration camps. Happy “Independence” Day!
